I wonder if this is enough for oprofile. Don't you need to access user
space data of the task running on the SPU? I always assumed you want
No, I don't need anything from the user app besides access to the executable binary, which I get with copy_from_user, specifying the 'objectid' as from address.
to do it via get_user or copy_from_user, which obviously doesn't work
here, when you're running in the oprofile task. Are you using something
like access_process_vm now?
